Another factor that wasn't mentioned: Plagiarism. They often use Serious Eats recipes without any sort of attribution. Edit: Some context: https://mic.com/articles/163958/the-secret-ingredient-to-buz...

I've come to realize there are very few actually good recipes online that don't come from a small number of websites. Serious Eats being a major one.

What should Serious Eats do about that? Include some fake ingredients like the fake streets included in maps?

Are were sure Serious Eats didn't "steal" them from someone else?

Recipes are not copyrightable, and I'd argue that it's actually beneficial to all of us to exchange recipes freely and allow for commercial reuse. Food is an important and quantifiable part of our lives, and improving it is a collective effort. As I support scientific papers "theft" by Scihub, in the same way I support Buzzfeed propagating good food.
